Event details

Part of the Music Research Seminar Series

Beethoven was a prominent cultural icon in the German Democratic Republic, heralded alongside Goethe as a founding father of East German socialism. This talk will chart his reception in the GDR, and will illustrate how changing responses to him mirrored the wider ascent and decline of the state.
